Late Night Lyrics

Say what I need to say...
There is beauty in the breakdown...
My salvation is in your love...

These are the lyrics playing in my mind tonight as I listen to music on my new iPhone
(a very cool and generous gift from a loving friend). I am going to use them to enter into my own heart...to listen to what is present now...

What I need to say?
I am breaking down the walls between you and me.
I am reaching through the lies, illusions, stories, projections and corrections that have kept us from seeing one another, loving one another, meeting one another.
I am becoming naked in your presence
Unguarded, revealed
Quivering with fear
Doesn't matter....
See me now
See me as I am
See me with clear vision
Pierce my soul with Truth
I want this Love
I want this Love
I want to hold this gaze
and not flinch
To withstand the fires of intimacy
and be delivered to the other side
I am breaking down the walls
I am breaking down the walls
I am traveling the distance between you and I
One step at a time, I am coming home

There is beauty in the breakdown?
Yes, there is beauty in the breakdown.
I am breaking down
My mind is reeling
Can't keep up with
the changes in my heart
I am disoriented
Being re-oriented
To love
To being opened by another
God help me to open
God help me to open
God help me to open
Breakdown, breakthrough
I want the breakthrough
I want the walls to come down
Loose, lose the masks
The inauthenticities that hide my insecurites
The ways that I tone my love down
I am breaking down all that keeps me from love
I am becoming love in the breakdown
Body tired, eyes burning, throat soar
Constricting my truth
Afraid to know my truth
My heart wants to express
My throat wraps iteself around the words
Keeping them prisoner
Breaking down the walls, the bars
Out of the cell of fear
Into the open field of love
Yes, I am breaking down all that is not essential
I am breaking through to essence
I am beautiful in my breakdown

My salvation is in your love...
My healing
Our healing
Is in this love
Surrendering to the Truth of this Love
The reality of this love
The beauty of this love
Our mutual wholeness is the gift
Buried in the rubble
Of our past burdens, broken hearts
The bones of skeletons
The voices of monsters
They come to dance in this story
To test our conviction
Our commitment
To embodying love
To sacred intimacy
To revealing Self to Self
Self to Other
Beyond the terror
Beyond the wanting to run
Beyond the fight, the flight
The distractions
Our souls are waiting
Patiently
For this drama to be done
So we can begin living
As intended
Creating the crucible
For a blossoming love
Pray with me Love
Pray with me
Holy Spirit
Gudie us
Guide us all
Guide our way into Truth
Guide our way into Love
Take us into the Heart
The Source
The Lover's Kingdom
My salvation is your Love.

Amen.
